Jeremy’s parents have already sold their Grand Prairie home in order to live in Ithaca and take care of their son while he’s in school. Jeremy was accepted under the condition he live with his parents.

“While this is highly unusual, we feel that with the strong support of his parents — who will be moving here to provide him a place to live and study — and his unusual talents and thirst for knowledge, he will be able to thrive as an engineering student and take advantage of all that Cornell has to offer,” Collins said.

Jeremy was always advanced academically. His mother, Harrey Shuler, said the her son could read in two languages — English and Korean — by the time he was 2 years old.

In 2014, at 10, he took the SATs, and scored higher than 99.6% of that year’s test-takers. He also earned 800s on the math, physics, and chemistry SAT subject tests, the Washington Post reported.
